the batter
first swing
the batter steps into the ground
ready to swing, facing the crowd
a feeling as familiar as the sound
beating, streaking, echoing loud
with every step he hears the beating
a heart not ready for the inning
but the warrior is great, not fearing
the only foe is fate— ball speeding!
with all his strength, the batter swings
with the strength of ten mighty kings,
but the crowd burst into laughter,
the ball evaded the rage of the batter!
